Between Parents

Do you ever lose your cool?  Have you ever felt like you have one nerve left and everyone is standing on it?  If you’re like us, it’s easy to react to people and circumstances reflexively – to give full range to impatience, frustration, or anger. In this summer replay episode Billy and Joy kick around the idea of responding rather than reacting to the things that bug us. Take a listen and form some of your own opinions about their opinions! Talk about this: How often do I react to my kids versus respond to them? What "Pause Phrases" can I use? (Practice them!) What circumstances do I need to imagine in advance? Where do I struggle to "assume good intentions?"
